Bookmark Gardening Manager

About

Tame your bookmark jungle — for free.

Years of saving links leaves you with hundreds of bookmarks you'll never visit again: dead pages, login walls, sites that no longer exist. Bookmark Gardening Manager is a free Chrome extension that does the cleanup work you've been putting off.

The Story Behind It I'm Dan Woodruff, an independent consultant who has been using Chrome since day one. Over the years I accumulated over 800 bookmarks — research articles, client sites, tools, references. Half of them were dead. I kept meaning to clean them up manually, but who has time for that? I couldn't find a free tool that did exactly what I needed without requiring an account or sending my data somewhere. So I built it myself.

What It Does

🔍 Dead Link Audit — Scans every bookmark and flags URLs that return 404 errors, have gone offline, or are unreachable. Remove them all in one click.

📅 Unused Bookmark Finder — Tracks which bookmarks you actually visit. Find and remove links you haven't opened in 30, 60, 90 days, 6 months, or ever since installing the extension.

📁 Group & Report — Browse your entire bookmark collection organized by folder or domain. Delete entire clusters at once.

Why It's Free I built this because I needed it. Keeping it free is intentional — bookmark cleanup is a basic productivity need that shouldn't cost money. If it saves you time and you'd like to support continued development, there's an optional donate button in the extension. No pressure, no nag screens.
